Ozzy Osbourne is Scared of Isis But was Excited by 9/11…?
Ozzy Osbourne sat down for an interview recently with Shortlist and in an odd twist, they discussed the terrorist attack on the World Trade Center. Ozzy said he found it excited, stating:
“I wasn’t scared, I was excited!” he said. “It was my kind of craziness, you know.”
As he continued, he described the scene and where he was when the event took place.
“I remember standing on the steps of the hotel, and – you know when you see an old cowboy film and that tumbleweed rolls past on the ground?” he asked. “There was newspapers just floating around on the streets. It was so f**king weird. Everybody just backed off Manhattan because they didn’t know if it was an all-out thing or what.”
Ozzy also said some less than nice things about our President at the time, saying:
“He was a c**t,” Osbourne said. “I was f**king faced at that dinner. I’d had three bottles of wine before I went in there. Sharon was going f**king nuts at me. George Bush, I never quite got his deal,” he continued. “The thing is, I don’t suppose he expected World War 3 to begin when he got voted in, did he? It was a bit of a shocker, a kick in the pants. He hadn’t been in office more than five minutes and 9/11 went down.”
But while 9/11 may have been an exciting time in Osbourne’s life, the threat of ISIS? Not so much. I’ve come to the conclusion that it’s in mankind to try to kill each other for one thing or another,” he said. “And I think sooner or later one of these crazy f**kers is going to get a nuclear weapon or some f**king thing, and f**k a lot of people up. That’s in our nature. I hope it won’t happen, but it looks like it could happen if they get it.”
The interview was done to promote his new Memoirs of a Madman, out Oct. 14. You can read the full article on Radio.com.
